I believe you mean does anyone acknowledge it. :P

Yeah he is short, but as for voting for what he might wants.

Still he did contribute to the main page in that story of Leah Brahms.

Yeah, I know that, Storm; I'm not asking that a CT be granted Right Now, just gauging the opinions on a few contenders. (Besides, I'm only about 500-750 or so posts away, right? That'll take me, what, a day to fill in? lol)

Perhaps in homage to your own CT, Stormbringer, I might be dubbed, "The Red Bringer"? No? Just a thought. :twisted:

I know. You've got a shot at one now. We'll see. It's in Darth Wong's hands now.

By a strange coincidence, I just picked a rune up off the floor. It's the Wyrd rune. So, which one did you like best, Stormbringer?

Sorry, his comment for "God Of Naughty Little Boys" sounded like he was implying Catholics as all being pedarests.

Not intentionally, no. Sorry about that, Spanky.

Incidentally, can you tell me what your CT means? I've been trying to figure it out for weeks.

No problem.

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, NERV designates Eva pilots singularly as "Children".

Therefore, Rei Ayanami is the First Children, Asuka Langley Sohryu (subject of many of my avatars) is the Second Children, and Shinji Ikari is the Third Children. Etc...

I picked Third Children because I liked how it sounds the best.

There's a FAQ? I never notice when there are FAQs... of course I'm such a well-rounded individual that I don't break rules I don't even know exist. At least most of the time :P

Yeah, the requirments for post count changed. It used to be at 1500 posts you could petition for a custom title but right as I was making 1500 posts the requirements were upped :cry: so I have to keep going.

That's okay, we've got so many people now that at 1500 posts everyone and his dog would have CI and it would no longer be "kewl". I am a mod but of a small private forum (and a co-mod at that) so I think I'd need something a bit more substantial before petitioning.

How about "Steam 'Ho"? Sorry, Raoul, couldn't resist...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

My opinion on the custom title issue is that is should be merit-based, not necessarily post-count based. In the Army, most awards are merit-based, rather than longevity based (the Good Conduct Medal for enlisted men being an example of a longevity-based award).

I agree, but in the Army we have a scale of expectations and the brass are looking for people with initiative. Here it is a bit more of a commune (egad, I said that!?) and one must blow one's own horn in order to get a particular recognition and campaign for oneself.

However, one must have done enough for the community and aquired enough personal Juche to merit getting a CI or other award; a guy that shows up and posts 2,000 "me too" posts would find himself with no support among the masses when he petitions.
